Kindle versus paper: a pictorial

October 18, 2009

I have had a Kin­dle for a few months now and really enjoy it.  I have been read­ing like I’ve never read before!  The size and con­ve­nience are great and, for many texts, far out­weighs the longevity and space require­ments of paper books (even though I love hav­ing shelves and shelves of book spines to […]

The hidden cost of the Kindle: computing glasses

September 16, 2009

So it turns out that there is a hid­den cost to the Ama­zon Kin­dle.  I have been read­ing quite a lot more in the past few months.  A typ­i­cal week­day rou­tine might have been star­ing at com­puter screens all day at work, com­ing home, doing a few chores, help­ing out with din­ner, then watch­ing a […]

The little details, like hyphens and em-dashes

September 15, 2009

As you may or may not know, I got myself a Kin­dle a few months back.  To be more spe­cific, it was the Kin­dle DX — a bit more expen­sive, but the big­ger screen and native PDF sup­port was more than worth it in my case.  My thought at the time was that it would […]

Netninja Mobile, now with sudoku

August 9, 2009

A lit­tle over two years ago, back when the iPhone SDK con­sisted of “here, kid, here’s a text edi­tor, now go away and make your­self a nice lit­tle web page, and quit both­erin’ me,” I quickly hacked together a lit­tle web con­trol panel and called it Phone­marks.  It ran, and con­tin­ues to run in some […]

1984 goes down the Memory Hole

July 19, 2009

I’ll be blog­ging about the great time I had at ARGfest soon, but this par­tic­u­lar bit of news was just too laced with irony to pass up…
I do not know if you have read the biggest piece of irony in recent (or per­haps ever) tech news but in case you have not, let me sum­ma­rize.  The […]

Comments from all over (Virtual Kindle Style)

July 3, 2009

When the blog was the only out­let for typed thoughts and shared com­ments, every­thing got posted here (or, tech­ni­call, over at Live­Jour­nal, as that was my blog long, long before I moved it here.) Now that we have Twit­ter and Face­book and what­not, those thoughts get scat­tered through­out the inter­nets.  In an effort to […]

Why I probably won’t be getting a Kindle 2

February 7, 2009

What I have seen of the Kin­dle 2’s design makes it an envi­able device to gadget-lover-Brian.  While the first Kin­dle looked like it was made by Tandy, this updated one looks like it came straight out of Cuper­tino.  It almost looks like an over­sized iPod Touch, seam­lessly melded with a key­board, and large enough to […]
